WISCONSIN RAPIDS - The Wood County Sheriff's Department is again helping to get people home safely on New Year's Eve.

A member of the Sheriff's Department will join Wood County Tavern League President Dave Hahn to give people who have had too much to drink a ride home as part of the Safe Ride program, Capt. Shawn Becker said.

"We hope people going out to celebrate will plan ahead, but we will be here for people who shouldn't be driving," Becker said.

The rides will go from 10:45 p.m. until 3 a.m., Becker said. People who need a ride home can call 715-459-2290.
